discuss Your HAND REGD & DROPPED DOMAINS success stories!

[NameOmnia]

Hi all

the purpose of this thread, as the title says, is to share with each other our hand regd and dropped domains success stories.

We debated a gazillion times about the viability and the profitability of the expired domains and I think it will be useful for everyone ( especially for those who are new in this industry ) to see how many of us made some money by selling a domain that we hand registered or that was a dropped.

I ask you not to be cryptic though, so please say what the name/s was/were ( maybe hide some characters if you need to ), if it/they was/were hand regd, a dropped, GD closeout etc and the selling price.

I really look forward to seeing your success stories guys & gals!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

Sara

I think of last hand registering domain some 1-2 years back so can't share any latest story but the quickest sale of my hand registered domain was Textbooks.CO which I hand reg for $17.99 and sold within 24 hours for $12,000 ONLY

DomainNameSales is far better than Voodoo. Simply submit all your names with them to see if they accept you application.

Abdul bhai, good one but I have also had good results from ParkingCrew for sale links where you share 0% commission

You don't need to pay any commission using DNS unless using their brokerage service. Also the parking revenue on good number of domains comparing with many parking companies, I have found DNS being the best so far.
Have you tried DNS and compared with PC by parking over 100 domains?

Well, Flippa isn't parking company. If you are asking about parking, Sedo is the worst and DNS is the best. Voodoo and Bodis are good too if your account hasn't been approved by DNS yet.

can i make more than reg fee parking a domain?

That depends on the domain for making money through parking.

Yup, their parking commissions are good but their sales staff converting inquiries into sales have been poor for me

Thanks Abdul,

For suggesting DNS other day (it is switching to Uniregistry now) , I really love their site and its far far better than any parking I have used before.

I currently have 250+ domains parked there (since a week) , yet to generate any revenue though , but love their site and their team.

Bought only 2-3 .co.uk in my career, so can't comment on those.

IMO, that's because most of the inquirers are interested in buying domains for well under 1K due to which DNS brokers are not able to convert them into desirable sales.

Happy to see you opted them so quickly and I am sure you will make more money with them compare to any other platforms you have tried and tested before.

I have sold several hand-regs for $X,XXX on BrandBucket.

Got Links/biz on GD Closeouts (maybe $15 total) and sold it for $1,395 on Sedo a few months later.

Hand-reg Placest sold for $510 on Sedo a couple months ago, was a BB reject.

Sold many hand-reg BB rejects for $XX both on and off of NamePros.

you may notice parking revenue increase after 3 months

Flippa sales @JudgeMind?

some flippa but also sell a lot of names through bin on godaddy as premium listings, this is just a small amount I have highlighted.

 

[GoKaizen]

I list on Afternic, since it pushes to GD and other registrars. Would you recommend listing on GD auctions instead?

I list as godaddy premium listing and also list on afternic using their MLS service, I also use sedo mls for domains registered somewhere other than godaddy
